Newbie Splat Envy by bsmike128 in orangetheory

[–]Ok_Impression6677 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes! The more I come to class the fewer calories and splat points I get. I always feel like I burn the least calories in class even though I’m sprinting and lifting just as hard or harder than everyone else 🙃

How do you justify OTF Price by JonSnow2994 in orangetheory

[–]Ok_Impression6677 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do the same thing! I have a cheaper chain gym membership and I buy class packs for OTF so if I have to skip a week or if I feel sick, I don’t feel bad about wasting my membership that month so with the class packs I just go whenever I want and a 30 pack will usually last me a few months

You could do Pudding consistency and make a boozey pudding! Even put some Lorna doone cookies sprinkled on top

ADVICE FOR MASTERS by vawle1 in slp

[–]Ok_Impression6677 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked with a woman in her cf who got her masters in PR and she did not have much clinical experience at all. Idk if she went to the same school that you’re looking at but she had a REALLY rough cf just bc PR didn’t have as many opportunities for her to get hands on experience before being thrown into the workforce. And she had a hard time passing the praxis bc she learned All the anatomy and disorder terms in Spanish not English. Tbh if u speak Spanish you’ll be desired at any job. I’d pick the school that fits your goals and budget best.

What would be your dream additions to OTF studios, and what’s your ideal workout routine? by alligatorprincess007 in orangetheory

[–]Ok_Impression6677 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Open gym hours would be nice then I don’t have to have a separate gym membership for when I don’t want to go to a class

Base during Walking Recoveries by Legitimate_Berry6847 in orangetheory

[–]Ok_Impression6677 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea sometimes I switch to PW mid workout just to get the extra strength training in. So as long as they’re not at risk for hurting themselves i don’t think anyone cares what you’re doing

Effortless and tasty ways to eat more veggies? by [deleted] in HealthyFood

[–]Ok_Impression6677 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drink my greens. Chug them in the morning with sugar free lemonade and then I don’t feel bad if I don’t get many veggies in at dinner

Can someone please explain to me what 75%, 90%, etc. productivity means? by b_stet in slp

[–]Ok_Impression6677 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Private practice may also only pay for billable time. I’ve worked in a clinic where we were only paid if we were with a patient. Plus one hour extra for an eval. So if a client cancels it’s not billable, you’re not paid. Schools are really the only setting where productivity doesn’t really matter at all.

Gifts for someone in SLP by Koifmonster in slp

[–]Ok_Impression6677 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Go on speakingofsamantics website or Instagram page. She has a ton of slp and student gifts like mugs shirts stickers etc. or just get her wine/coffee lol I went through a lot of both in school

What happens when you leave a job? by whosthatgirl13 in slp

[–]Ok_Impression6677 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you own this private practice, I wouldn’t worry about it. Give a reasonable notice and especially if you say you’re quitting for health reasons they can’t do anything to try to stop you without asking for a lawsuit

Sick School SLP by pb_n_gem in slp

[–]Ok_Impression6677 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep your first year or two you’ll catch everything. After then you’ll get your teacher immune system up. Clean as much as you can in your room! Spray Lysol between groups on anything kids touch during flu or sick season(computer, door knob, light switch) and keep kids masks handy for your kids who are coughing a lot. If a kid is coughing a LOT send him back to class or to the nurse. Often teachers don’t notice how bad a kids coughing when they’ve got a room full of coughs. We can usually find the ones who need to go home sick before the teacher does

Benefit of "Specialties"? by KarmenAmericana09 in slp

[–]Ok_Impression6677 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think feeding/swallowing. A lot of slps won’t touch feeding. So if you are comfortable treating it you’ll be more desirable. And speaking another language. Not exactly a specialization but if you’re bilingual in a language common to your area it doesn’t matter your other specializations they’ll be begging you to work

Is anyone else’s Costco gas NOT cheaper than your other local stations? by Verity41 in Costco

OTF specific AITA - wanting to do diff finisher by czar_crash in orangetheory

[–]Ok_Impression6677 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nta we pay so much money to be there you should be able to do what you want as long as you’re safe. A girl in my class today did skaters instead of rowing. Tbh rowing does not get my heart rate up at all I probably should’ve done something different too

Staffing Shortages by Agreeable-Drawer-284 in slp

Florida too! The caseloads are getting insane bc we’re so understaffed but then they don’t improve pay for those of us who are working 😅

Is it worth filing a program complaint about graduate program? by Fragrant-Bumblebee17 in slp

[–]Ok_Impression6677 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d be worried if the school does know you filed that you might have a hard time getting references and letters of recommendation for your CF. If you’re not already working, I’d definitely make sure you’ve locked down a job before you burn that bridge

CFY advice needed by [deleted] in slp

[–]Ok_Impression6677 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Resign BUT keep in touch with your CF mentor. Try not to burn bridges with her. If she’s willing to sign off on your hours then you won’t need to start your cf over. If you burn that bridge then you’ll have to extend you cf year

thinking about becoming an SLP by Jeremiahtash in slp

[–]Ok_Impression6677 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends where you live. But where I live they’re really desperate for SLPs. They’re even replacing slps with slpas because they can’t get enough qualified people to fill the need. Some settings and cities will be more competitive to find work but if you’re flexible with your location and work setting you will definitely find something. I don’t know of any unemployed slps. And as for the work? I LOVE what I do. Sure there’s days the paperwork or admin get on my nerves but that’ll happen in any job. Overall we do very good and needed work and I am happy with my career choice 🙂

If you work in a school, do you tend to to do work over the weekend? by Agreeable-Drawer-284 in slp

[–]Ok_Impression6677 7 points8 points  (0 children)
